Kentucky Basketball Faces Identity Crisis

LEXINGTON, KY. — If the University of Kentucky basketball team has seemed unsteady this season, consider the circumstances. Point guard Ryan Harrow vanished for four early games, for reasons never fully explained, then dazzled upon his return before fading of late. Center Willie Cauley-Stein sat out four games after a “minor procedure” on his left knee. Small forward Alex Poythress was “a beast” for four games and then he wasn’t — and now, in spurts, is again.
